Abstract

The run-flat tyre (P 1 ) comprises a carcass reinforcement ( 32 ) comprising at least one polyester reinforcing element and a sidewall insert ( 44 ) manufactured from a rubber composition based on a crosslinkable rubber composition comprising an elastomer consisting of polybutadiene having a Mooney plasticity within a range of values extending from 55 to 85 Mooney units and a carbon black having a specific surface area within a range of values extending from 15 m 2 /g to 25 m 2 /g and an oil adsorption number of compressed sample within a range of values extending from 65 ml/100 g to 85 ml/100 g.

Claims (16)

1 .- 10 . (canceled)

11 . A run-flat tire comprising:

a carcass reinforcement comprising at least one polyester reinforcing element; and

a sidewall insert manufactured from a rubber composition based on a crosslinkable rubber composition comprising:

an elastomer consisting of polybutadiene having a Mooney plasticity within a range of values extending from 55 to 85 Mooney units, and

a carbon black having a specific surface area within a range of values extending from 15 m 2 /g to 25 m 2 /g and an oil adsorption number of compressed sample (COAN) within a range of values extending from 65 ml/100 g to 85 ml/100 g.

12 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 , wherein the carcass reinforcement comprises a single carcass ply.

13 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 further comprising two beads, each one comprising at least one annular reinforcing structure, the carcass reinforcement being anchored in each of the beads by a turn-up around the annular reinforcing structure.

14 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 , wherein the polyester reinforcing element comprises at least two polyester multifilament strands that are plied together.

15 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 , wherein the constituent elementary filaments of each polyester multifilament strand are plied with a twist factor within a range of values extending from 90 to 170.

16 . The run-flat tire according to claim 15 , wherein the twist factor is within a range of values extending from 120 to 150.

17 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 , wherein the Mooney plasticity of the polybutadiene is within a range of values extending from 55 to 75 Mooney units.

18 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 , wherein the crosslinkable rubber composition comprises a second elastomer, the second elastomer being a diene-type elastomer.

19 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 , wherein the second elastomer is selected from the group consisting of polybutadienes, synthetic polyisoprenes, natural rubber, butadiene copolymers, isoprene copolymers and mixtures thereof.

20 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 , wherein the crosslinkable rubber composition comprises a polybutadiene content within a range of values extending from 40 to 90 phr.

21 . The run-flat tire according to claim 11 , wherein the crosslinkable rubber composition comprises a carbon black content within a range of values extending from 30 to 100 phr.
